I hated high school. I’d rather be home sleeping so when the bell ring at the end of the day I'm more than relieved. Even afterschool I still had to walk home before I could sleep. I’ve grown to not mind the walk home with my twin sister Jenelle, on cool fall days. When we started up our driveway, which leads to our baroque house, something seemed off. I approached the glass front doors and saw it was unlocked already, I didn’t think much about it, assuming mom or dad got home early. “Dad?” I called, and got no response, so I tried again, “Mom?” Again no response. Strange, I thought. Maybe they forgot to lock it on the way out this morning, so I continued toward the stairs and up to my room. As I rounded the corner on the stairs, I saw a …show more content…
I thought he was gone, but I continued to look for her. The first place I looked was her room. I could see Jenelle’s outline curled in a ball on her bed. I sat next to her on the bed and the loud banging began again and the room began to slowly get pitch black as the sun was sinking past the horizon. The noised echoed louder this time coming from the backdoor, followed by the same mans voice. “Kate! Jenelle! I know youre in there just open the door!” It continued and the sound of the doorknob came with it. I fumbled in the dark to find my phone and dial 911, but before I could, I heard heavy footsteps on the stairs. They got closer and closer, until the noise was right outside her door. I began to feel great attrition because of the fear in my body. I pulled both of us back off the bad and we crawled under it. “Kate,” the man said in a deep, hushed voice, in front of me. I closed my eyes. I couldn’t bear to look. Two large hands wrapped around my shoulders and began to shake me. I opened my eyes, just a bit, to see that it was bright out and my dad was standing over me. “Time for dinner,” he said and walked out of my door and down the stairs. I peaked out of my room and saw the clean carpet that covered the upstairs floor. My shoulders drooped as I let out a huge sigh. None of it was
This time I ran to the door to catch what was making that noise, and I hid next to the door. There was a light moving around my front door in circles, like someone had a flashlight, moving it around. I stood sideways at the door, determined to catch whatever was there. When I stood sideways at the door to catch what was in the bushes, I looked through the window on the door -and I saw a whole family.
The doorbell rang inside the old tan house but nobody answered. I brushed that thought off, thinking that they could
I sprinted to my front door, now starting to panic, but it was locked from the outside. “HELP,” I shouted banging on the sealed window. “Is anyone there!? Can you hear me!?” Hours passed and the only person that stopped was me.
I also saw a picture of my face on the news. How could I be missing? This looks exactly like my room. No one was in the house. A car was in the driveway, which was good so if something happened, I could make a quick escape.
When I saw the flash of my mom 's headlights my body shook with fear and I held in a sob. My mom opened the front door and I ran to her, clinging to her like I did when I was a child. I felt the warmth of her skin against mine and listened for a moment to her heartbeat. “Can we talk about something?” I asked, letting go of my mom.
Her heart pounded as she slowly got out of her bed to go investigate. As she reaches for the light switch at the top of the stairs she hears a voice that gives her chills down her back, “Hi
“I was screaming and she came and banged on the door. I was still screaming, but I got up to let her in””. Miss Roberts had
“Niyah, when you come in here for a second, please,” my mom said. “Oh no,” I thought. “It was only 8 o’clock in the morning! What could I have possibly done?” I washed my hands and went to my mom’s room.
Everyone then comes out their room. Now everyone began to fight to get to the bathroom. All six of us at 6:40am piled up at the bathroom door. Somehow I pushed myself through and made it in the bathroom. I struggle to shut the door.
Excitedly, I knocked on his door. He opened it with a bright smile on his face and gestured for me to enter his apartment, I entered smiling. “Thank you, Mr. Deerwood” I said to him, he served me tea from his old china teapot, I sipped on it tasting the herbs he put on it. “You know, I heard that scream too.” He replied as he sat on the couch in front of me.
He turned, making his way back to the car. I stood there for a minute dumbfounded. They hadn’t pulled away yet, and I realized they were waiting for me to get inside the house. I dug my keys out of my purse; went inside and turned on the lights. I leaned against the door dumbfounded and overjoyed - what the hell just happened?
Vera kept glancing back over her shoulder, hoping someone would magically appear before her eyes. The sound of an old door creaking open echoed throughout the long hallway. Vera spun around and saw all the doors shut. Perplexed, she decided to keep walking back to her dorm room. A gasp escaped her mouth as multiple footsteps passing by behind her could be heard all around.
“ WHERE AM I?” yelled Annalisha as she just woke up from cocoma. She had been teleported into the dark forest. Her 3 dog’s heard wolves coming their way. “ I hear you growling at me, i’m not afraid of you.”
“I’m not making this up,” Rose was saying. “He was looking over at us the whole time we were talking to Rio.” “I don’t know about that,” said Jake. “He might have just been looking in our general direction.” He leaned against the horse stall, taking large gulps from a water bottle.
“You’re not even in that class. How would you know?” I spat, eating some grapes. “Gossip travels quickly in High School,” Clay swallowed his bread.
